Out of o-and p-dibromobenzene which one has a higher melting point and why?

Options

  1. Ao-Dibromobenzene has a higher melting point because it has stronger van der waals forces.
  2. Bp-Dibromobenzene has a higher melting point because it has stronger dipole-dipole interactions.
  3. Co-Dibromobenzene has a higher melting point because it can form hydrogen bonds.
  4. Dp-Dibromobenzene has a higher melting point than its o-isomer. It is due to the symmetry of the p-isomer which

Correct answer

D. p-Dibromobenzene has a higher melting point than its o-isomer. It is due to the symmetry of the p-isomer which

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (D) p-Dibromobenzene has a higher melting point than its o-isomer. It is due to the symmetry of the p-isomer which fits in the crystal lattice better than the o-isomer.
